Rainbow opened its first store front with volunteer labor in 1975 on 16th St near Valencia at a time when there was no natural foods industry. As the store became increasingly successful, it was able to bring more workers on as paid staff. In 1983, with loans from our customers, Rainbow made the move to Mission St. and 15th. With 105 workers, it was the biggest health food store in the city. Rainbow moved to 1745 Folsom Street on April 25,1996, and opened its doors to the public once again. Thanks to the continued support of our community, we are still here today. Come join our block party on Sunday, August 17th 2025 at 12PM – 6PM!

11am-6pm
